 VIDEO CARD: ASUS GeForce GTX 970 "TURBO OC" (im looking for nvidia graphic card because of shadow play n stuff it features)

I'd consider getting an SSD (240GB) for your OS, apart from that, I love this built:)

Sorry if i sound like a neeewb but what is the point of SSD, apart of its speed. Can it improve performance?

You can drop your CPU to non K if your going with a H motherboard.

Ram abit confused with the spec ?

Improves boot speed, can help with certain games that may require access to DLL's if you install games directly onto it (larger SDD's) can significantly improve load times

No it is not.  Only the Z170 chipset.

Not really...
If you're planning to overclock well, go with a 'Z' motherboard.
If you're not planning to overclock, you can easily get away with going down to an H150, or even an H110 to better suit your budget.

does MSI Z170A Gaming M3 do the job then?

As long as it has the features you want then yes.  All Z170 board should support overclocking.

Asrock Hyper series goes around the OC limit from intel. They use a special chip to do that.

It basicly adds overclocking options to the H chipsets and allows you to overclock non K cpus as well.

There's still boards shipping with the unofficial bios?  Last I heard was that Intel made them replace them without the feature.
